As I have been modding my interior lately, I have been looking for a handbrake to match my aluminum interior. I originally got the OEM silver handle, the first pic below, but its more chrome like the sport steering wheel trim.

After searching on ebay I found a handbrake handle like the second pic below. Now I do not have an ///M or M-Sport and I didn't want the logo. So after a few hours of searching I found the company that makes them and they come with out a logo as in the third pic.

My problem is the min order is 10 and the cost is $28.50 each. I like the handle but not enough to order 10 of them. The question is would any guys be willing to go in on this with me and just pay to cover the cost of the item and shipping? I'm not trying to make any sort of profit off of this just don't want to spend over $300 for a handle. I've included a pic of the email with the quote I got.

Let me know guys. Thanks.

I guess no one is interested?

You can also try looking at AC Schnitzer eBrake handle. I have one like in this post https://5series.net/forums/e60-parts...ve-knob-68017/

I actually like the first pic the best. Looks cleaner and more finished. I have the OEM shadow aluminum trim in my car. I wonder how it compares to the color of the silver hand brake?

Thanks, I've seen those on eBay too. Since I don't have any ACS stuff on the car, (my contact for the ACS M-tech splitters and rear diffuser seems to have disappeared) I'm trying to just get something blank.

Balbs, do you know how many kinds of aluminum trim there are? I know there's the aluminum cube and brushed aluminum, is the kind you have a third version?

I have the brushed kind in my and have the first handle pictured and it doesn't match the trim really. If you have a sport wheel with the silver trim, that's what the handbrake matches.

I guess...Mine is the Shadow aluminum trim from an M5. I think there's also a titanium trim that matches the automatic gearshift trim. However, I hear the titanium trim is actually plastic.

It would be nice to see that handbrake with the other aluminum trim in the same picture just to see how far off the color is.

Here you go, quick cell phone shot but should get the point across. Also my trim is from an M5 too, its definitely aluminium.

Nice thanks! Doesn't look too bad.
